nternational and national conventions, legislations and frameworks have endorsed the need for educating all childr en under one r oof. The Article 3 of the Salamanca Framework for Action (1994) documented that schools should accommodate all childr en r egar dless of their physical intellectual, emotional, social, linguistic or other conditions. In or der to attract and r etain all childr en including childr en with hearing impairment (CWHI), Indian education system should r espond flexibly . The flagship pr ogrammes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) launched by the Ministry of HRD pr omote inclusive education of all including CWHI in mainstr eam schools. In or der to achieve the goals of SSA and RMSA, the barriers in inclusive education of CWHI need to be identified and fixed. The pr esent paper lists the ways and means of cr eating a barrier fr ee envir onment for childr en with hearing impairment in secondary schools

This paper explor es various ides r egar ding interactive teaching. Interactive teaching is nothing but sharing the ex pectation of a teacher wi th the students. It points out how interactive teaching helps to incr ease students motivation and confidence of learning. Effective and impr essive teaching cannot take place without interaction. The benefit of interactive teaching is that the students become active agents in their own learning. This paper focus on how cooperative learning method is beneficial to the students for learning social and scholastic skills as well as valuable skills for life. It also thr ows light on how it helps the students to learn mor e about how to communicate. The aim of interactive teaching is to cr eate fluency in communication among the students

Self awar eness, vision, purpose, commitment and making a contribution ar e the keys to becoming a confident, empower ed person. Empowerment means incr easing str ength. An important pr er equisite for the empowerment of citizens is a concerted effort to impr ove media and information literacy – skills that help to str engthen the critical abilities and communicative skills that enable the individual to use media and communication both as tools and as a way of articulating pr ocesses of development and social change, impr oving everyday lives and empowering people to influence their own lives. Media and information literacy is needed for all citizens, but is of decisive importance to the younger generation – in both their r ole as citizens and their participation in society , and their learning, cultural expr ession and personal fulfilment. “As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." -Johann W olfgang von Goethe

Resear ch is the or derly investigation of a subject matter for the purpose of adding to knowledge. Resear ch can mean 'r e-sear ch' implying that the subject matter is alr eady known but, for one r eason or another , needs to be studied again (Bor g, W .R. and Gall, M.D. ,1989). Alternatively , the expr ession can be used without a hyphen and in this case it typically means investigating a new pr oblem or phenomenon. W ithin the r ealm of educational planning, many things ar e always changing: the structur e of the education system, curriculum and textbooks, modes of teaching, methods of teacher training, the amount and type of pr ovisions to schools such as science laboratories, textbooks, furnitur e, classr oom supplies, and so on. These changes may lead to an impr ovement, or a worsening, in the quality of an educational system (Hopkins, 1990). Sometimes they may r esult in no impact upon quality - in which case major government expenditur es on such changes have been wasted. The educational planner working within this kind of envir onment must be able to undertake assessments of the effects of major changes and then pr ovide policy advice that will consolidate and extend the post pr oductive courses of action, and also inter cept and terminate existing practices that ar e shown to be damaging and wasteful

“The number one benefit of Information T echnology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be cr eative. It lets people be pr oductive.

n the era of globalization, the technological developments have taken place in Indian agricultur e in past few decades. Agricultural mechanization had br ought a r evolutionary impr ovement in agricultural pr oduction. Specially , the incr ease rate in pr oduction of food grains and particularly the pr oduction of wheat and rice was considerably higher than any incr ease in other agricultural pr oduction. India was facing acute shortage of food grains up to 1980s, but now it has become self-sufficient and also an exporter of food grains to the world. This has been happened only due to r evolution in high yielding varieties of cr op, use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, development of irrigation and cr op & plant pr otection measur es.

Acharya Javadekar maintained that the Bhagwad Geeta laid down a code of conduct for the guidance of the kings to the followed in the wars. Lor d Krishna and Arjun both wer e Kshatriyas (warrior Castes) and they had Kshatriya ideals to follow . The Geeta told us about the concept of the ideal warrior kng and Kshatriya's place and function in the society . T aking Arjun's Kshatriya characteristics and his duties as a warrior prince into account the Geeta espoused its teaching Mamnusara Y uddhschha. Mahatma Gandhi interpr eted this axiom of the Geeta to mean “fight non-violently for truth” – and Mahatma Gandhi maintained that this interpr etation was in keeping with the teaching of th Geeta. For , though all the wars wer e ended, the message of the Geeta was that “The war for the truth would always continue and always guide the warriors of 1 truth”. Mahatma Gandhi thought this to be the chief message of the Geeta

The health of mind and body ar e unquestionably interr elated as both positive and negative emotions have a tr emendous ability to affect the quality of our life emotions ar e powerful for ces influencing our everyday affairs. Fr om the time we join the nursery class, our educational system focuses on making us intellectuals and shaping us good pr oducts for the job markets. In fact, no emphasis is laid in our curriculum on teaching childr en to manage their anxiety , anger , inner conflicts and emotions, learning to manage emotions can ensur e achievement of mental and physical ser enity . In anger child may r efuse to go school, to eat to play and to talk. He may complain of differ ent pr oblems, may fight with others, may be unable to sleep and become a pr oblem child. If not managed pr operly these students may become slaves to anger , crying and aggr ession. On the other hand, students who know how to manage their emotions will be successful. High intelligence will be of no use to those who lack this skill and who may and up with less self r espect and poor self awar eness. Cognitive ability is not the sole critical determinant of our life. One also needs good communication and interpersonal skills which one can acquir e only thr ough anger management. W e par ents, teachers and social workers, can play a vital r ole in helping students handle their anger and develop emotional security with fair and consistent limits and r esponsibilities. Ther e ar e several ways thr ough which we can effectively help students to understand their emotions, r ecognize the feeling of others, differ entiate between feelings and actions, act in mor e acceptable ways and most importantly be good r ole models for our little ones. Each one teach one is a good policy

All management-theories and discussions, by and lar ge, tend to place the 'management' at the centr e of all or ganisational activities, which ar e vested with unequal power and authorities with the r esponsibilities to accomplish the or ganisational-goals with efficient use of all r esour ces including man-power management. Her e, the moot point is whether in pursuit of or ganisation goals, ' management' can be practiced in such a way instrumental to pr omote and r espect human-rights

A minority is a social that does not constitute a politically dominant voting majority of the total population of a given society . A sociological minority is not necessarily a numerical minority – it may include any gr oup that is sub-normal with r espect to a dominant gr oup in terms of social status, education, employment, wealth and political power . T o avoid confusion, some writers pr efer the terms “Subor dinate gr oup” and “dominant gr oup” rather than “minority” and “majority”, r espectively . IN socioeconomics, the term “minority” typically r efers to a socially subor dinate ethnic gr oup (understood in terms of language, nationality , r eligion and/or cultur e). Other minority gr oups include people with disabilities, “economic minorities” (working poor or unemployed), “age minorities” (who ar e younger or older than a typical working age) and sexual minorities

The pr ogr ess of a country is possible only when its citizens ar e dynamic entr epr esing and r esponsible. W ithout such citizens, a country can not achieve pr ogr ess in any field. The education is the most important tool to cr eate such type of citizens. The development of a nation mostly depends up on the gr owth of education in the society . In the development of any country primary education helps in cr eating base while higher education is important for pr oviding the cutting edge. Higher education institutes contribute to the gr owth of nation by pr oviding specialized knowledge and skilled manpower . These higher education institute viz. colleges, universities, 1 1T s, 1 1Ms can pr ovide the necessary trained and educated manpower r equir ed for development impr oving envir onment pr eserving and implementation of various pr ogrammes needed for nation development (Singh and Ahmad 201 1).

Literacy is a dynamic pr ocess. The distribution of literacy is uneven in differ ent parts of a r egion. The various geographical factors like the natur e of r elief, amount of rainfall, agricultural pr oductivity , availability of water , accessibility etc. influence the distribution of population. The influence of these factors is clearly seen in the socio- economic development of the r egion. This socio-economic development dir ectly and indir ectly accelerates the rate of literacy . As the W estern Satpura r egion is socio- economically less developed, ther efor e, the pr oportion of literate population is less and the rate of acceleration is also rather slow

Information Communication T echnologies (ICT) offer immense opportunities for the compr ehensive social and economic development of the people all over the world. W ithout the adoption, ther e is little chance for countries or r egions to develop. Ther e has been a lot of inter est during the last two decades in employing Information and Communication T echnologies (ICT s) for achieving development. While many of these initiatives have benefited rural women by way of access to new information and new employment opportunities, women still face a number of constraints in accessing ICT s. While ther e is r ecognition of the potential of ICT as a tool for the pr omotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women, a “gender divide” has also been identified, r eflected in the lower numbers of women accessing and using ICT compar ed with men. While most of the ICT initiatives ar e disseminating new information and knowledge useful for rural women, many ar e not able to make use of it, due to lack of access to complementary sour ces of support and services. Thr ough this paper I would like highlight the major barriers to access ICT s by rural women in India. Ther e is immense potential for ICT s to cr eate new employment opportunities for rural women in India and to contribute significant gains in efficiency and effectiveness in rural women enterprises. While ICT s can play an important r ole in empowering rural women, women's access and use of ICT s and empowerment clearly depends on the vision and operational agenda of the or ganization applying the ICT s. Ther efor e, str engthening the ICT initiatives of such or ganizations can go along way in empowering rural women in India.

One would tend to think that Human Resource management in one country would be much like it is in another country. There are similarities in the human resource function from one country to another however; due to cultural differences the human resource function can also be quite different. We must first define the Field of Human Resource Management. According to Peter Dowling in International Human Resource Management, “Human resource management is those activities undertaken by an organization to utilize its human resources effectively.” These activities include but are not limited to, human resource planning, staffing, performance management, training and education, compensation and benefits, and labor relations.

The present paper gives an insight on the role of education in future with special reference to global perspectives. The present era is known as a Digital Age, this era has drastically changed the methods, techniques and content of Education. Future classroom learning involves a great deal beyond the use of technology and digital media. Living in a digital world as we do, students certainly need to learn to use the tools that have become essential to life and work. Future Class-rooms may provide a kind of learning environment that would focus not only on result oriented teaching but also satisfy the basic need of learners, thereby shifting the prime focus from 3 R's (reading, writing and arithmetic) to 4 C's (communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creative problem solving). Every child needs knowledge and skills to become as an effective citizens, workers, and leaders. There is a profound gap between the knowledge and skills most students learn in school and the knowledge and skills they need in communities and workplaces. Educated and literate individuals for global prospective are able to effectively communicate in a personal and professional manner, show personal and social responsibility, be effective time managers, use appropriate technology in given situations, and be able to apply their learning to multiple situations. Future century is expected to be stressful and therefore Yoga and Meditation should also be taught properly in schools. Adding global perspective to class-rooms of future, global education not only provides students with conceptual knowledge but also helps them develop life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media and technology application skills. Educational institutes can develop global perspective by including global education principles in their policy and curriculum.

This paper , after briefly pr esenting the curr ent E-commer ce situation in India, analyses the performance and pr oblems of E-commer ce in India. Electr onic commer ce, commonly known as e-commer ce, e-commer ce consists of the buying and selling of pr oducts or services over electr onic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. It is mor e than just buying and selling pr oducts online. It also includes the entir e online pr ocess of developing, marketing, selling, delivering, servicing and paying for pr oducts and services. E-commer ce types r epr esent a range of various schemas of transactions which ar e distinguished accor ding to their participants such as Business- to-B usi nes s (B2B ), Bus ines s-t o-C ons ume r (B2C ), Bus ines s-t o-Em ploy ee (B2E ), Business-to-Government (B2G) and so on. India is showing tr emendous gr owth in the E- commer ce. India has an internet user base of over 100 million users. The penetration of e-commer ce is low compar ed to markets like the US and the UK but is gr owing at a much faster rate with a lar ge number of new entrants. India is yet to witness a br eakthr ough E- commer ce success story particularly in online r etail. E-commer ce cr eates new opportunities for business; it also cr eates new opportunities for education and academics line. This paper is outcome of a r eview of various r esear ch studies carried out on E-commer ce. This paper examines differ ent opportunities of e-commer ce viz., E- business, E-learning, E-commer ce education integration, E-insurance, E-commer ce for the WT O and developing countries and futur e media of e-commer ce. It raises key challenges that ar e being faced by consumers r elating to e-commer ce viz., Ethical issues, Per ceptions of risk in e-service encounters, challenges for e-commer ce education and legal system. Finally many companies, or ganizations, and communities in India ar e beginning to take advantage of the potential of e-commer ce; critical challenges r emain to be over come befor e e-commer ce would become an asset for common people

Background: literacy becomes not only a way of knowing, but also a way of being – curious, objective, and capable of assessing and applying information and skills to make sound decisions and actions. Literacy implies not only the understanding of a particular, relevant body of knowledge and set of relationships, but moreover, the ability and willingness to use that knowledge in a functional manner – to read and write, to communicate, to participate in society. Objectives: 1. To compare the attitude of male and female, Arts and Science, General, OBC and SC/ST teachers towards energy education. 2. To compare the attitude of teachers of different economic status, age groups, academic qualifications toward energy education. Sample of the study: The sample for the study has been drawn employing suitable sampling techniques. In present sample there were 12 schools. All the teachers in the selected schools constituted the subjects for the Study. Tools: The questionnaire prepared by the Investigator. Data Analysis: The data have been suitably analyzed through Mean Scores, SDs and Critical Ratio. Findings of the Study: 1. There were no significant difference between attitudes of male and female, Arts and Science, General, OBC, and SC/ST teachers towards energy education. 2. There were no significant difference between attitudes of teachers of different economic status, different age groups, different academic qualifications towards energy education.

Gujarat has turned out to be the centr e for varied interpr etations in the last decade, particularly because of two-fold r easons: firstly , the communal riots of 2002 and secondly , the economical move that Gujarat has made. The idea of Gujarat varies time to time – fr om the motherland of Gandhi to the platform of Modian politics. This shift has occurr ed due to various r easons; the for emost being among them is advent of popular . The invasion of popular in Gujarat has deeply affected the r ealm of cultur e, politics and literatur e. The paper discovers the seeds of popular in Gujarat, its steady rise, impulses behind its gr owth and its effects on socio-cultural life of Gujaraties. The years after the formation of Gujarat formed the childhood of popular and the post-2002 period is its youth. Popular in Gujarat is in its full bloom today , hence the paper tries to pr epar e a brief historiography of popular in Gujarat mainly focusing on literary domain. Thus, the paper pithily surveys the significant tr ends in history of popular fiction writing fr om beginning to pr esent day and its struggle with the main str eam or canonical Gujarati literatur e.

The talent of Ruskin Bond as writer is now universally acknowledged. India gets an exquisite r eflection in his stor es. This is not the sole point to entertain.

Drama as a genr e has been studied fr om various angles by various scholars in the world. Differ ent aspects of dramatic featur es and themes ar e studied by applying differ ent critical theories. However , the use of speech acts in the plays has r eceived almost no attention. Basically the 'Speech Act Theory' is a r ecent development and this theory has been mainly applied to natural language that is pr oduced in day- today communication. Application to literatur e has been r estricted to a few r esear ches in the academic institutions.

Life satisfaction admits of many definitions, so that any critique is liable to meet objections that what it addr esses isn't “r eally” life satisfaction. W e must begin, then, by identifying the tar get notion and considering why this is the right tar get. As a first appr oximation we may define life satisfaction as having a favorable attitude towar d one's life as a whole. Opinions vary about the pr ecise natur e of this attitude, but typically it is seen as somehow embodying a global judgment about one's life taken as a whole: that, all things consider ed, one's life is satisfactory . Central to life for Sumner , for instance, is “a positive evaluation of the conditions of your life, a judgment that, at least on balance, it measur es up favorably against your standar ds or expectations.

The r egion is popularly known in India for sever e poverty with incidents like starvation deaths and baby sale for food etc. In this paper a special poverty line has been derived for this poor est r egion fr om the unit level data of National Sample Survey of India. Bridging the poverty gap is essential befor e thinking about any development for any backwar d r egion of the country . This study has estimated the poor population as well as a budget of money r equir ement scientifically to bridge the poverty gap of the rural sector of this r egion. This has suggested a lot to the policy makers and Government r egar ding the appr oximate amount of m oney r equir ed for the per capita poors of the poverty stricken r egion

Madam Colette was per haps the most contr oversial female writer of Fr ench literatur e. During her most pr oductive years as a novelist Colette has written extensively on the themes of childhood, love, marital life. Passionate and tumultuous, her writings wer e lar gely based on her own experiences of thr ee successive marriages. Colette attempted to find answers to the tr oubled life by observing the simplest of things; a spider on its web, one pussy str etching out in the lawn, perfumes of the summer wind, the first rays of the sun which she describes in a subtle and sensual way . The pr esence of autobiography and fiction in hers novels wher e 'I' and the 'she' of her successive her oines became the 'me' of Colette, expr esses her fr eedom of existence and to define her own aesthetics. The novelist as such has succeeded in maintaining the critical uncertainty ar ound her work. But this ambiguity may contain valuable information on the genesis, development, and training of her writing. Colette admits to the autobiographical natur e of her works and acknowledges pr esenting fragments of her love life. Conventionally colettienne works ar e distinguished into two important genr es; the novels written in the first person and when the author distances herself fr om her her oines and also blurs the boundaries between her imaginations and her collections of memories

The landwar d displacement of the shor eline caused by the for ces of waves and curr ents is termed as coastal er osion. Coastal er osion occurs when wind, waves and long shor e curr ents move sand fr om the shor e and deposits it somewher e else. The sand can be moved to another beach, to the deeper ocean bottom, into an ocean tr ench or onto the landside of a dune. The r emoval of sand fr om the sand-sharing system r esults in permanent changes in beach shape and structur e. The impact of the event is not seen immediately as in the case of tsunami or storm sur ge. But it is equally important when we consider loss of pr operty . It generally takes months or years to note the impact of er osion; ther efor e, this is generally classified as a "long term coastal hazar d". The pr esent paper attempts to find out the scenario of coastal er osion and its management of Digha coast, east Medinipor e, W est Bengal

Previous high-performance computing system have scaled in specific cases but the dynamic nature of modern client and server workload, coupled with the impossibility of statically optimizing an OS for all workloads and hardware variants pose serious challenges for Operating system structures. We investigate a new Operating System structures, the Multikernel that treats the Machine as a network of independents cores, assumes no inter-core sharing at the lowest level, moves traditional OS functionality to distribute system of process that communicate via message-passing. We have implemented a Multikernel os to show that approach is promising and we describe traditional scalability problem for operating system can be effectively recast using message and can exploit insight from distributed system and networking. An evaluation of our prototype on multicore system show that, even on present day macine, the performance of a multikernel is comparable a conventional OS and can scale better to support future hardware. Commodity computer system contain more and more processor cores and exhibit increasingly diverse diverse architectural trade offs, including memory hierarchies, interconnects, instruction set and variants pose serious challenges for operating structures. In our research paper will investigate and propose new OS structure, the multikernel, that treats the lowest level, and moves traditional OS functionality to a distributed system of processes that communicate via messagepassing

The term “viral marketing” appears to have first been coined by venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson in 1996 to describe the marketing strategy of free e-mail service Hotmail (Kaikati and Kaikati 2004). Since then, contemporary business literature has become somewhat enamoured with the concept. Terms such as “word- ofweb,” “word-of-mouse,” “customer-to-customer” (C2C), or “peer-to-peer” (P2P) communication as well as “buzz marketing” have also been variously associated with the process. Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, to millions.
